Summary Polymorphism of serum transferrins in Siluridae (Ictalurus melas ) was found by using starch gel electrophoresis of sera previously labelled with radioactive iron ( 59 Fe). This polymorphism is based on the existence of 4 types of transferrins having different electrophoresis mobilities: types A, B, C and D. The types correspond with alleles at a single locus. Out of 10 theoretically possible phenotypes, 9 were observed by studying 140 individuals. These phenotypes differ between populations in two ponds in Sologne, France.
